A Visit to TTSHI just came back from TTSH.
Reason for going there: Infected toe (L), suspected ingrown nail. At first, I went to the Walk-In Clinic. I was gazing around and I spotted a notice, saying that,
"This clinic does not see children under 16 years of age." Immediately, I informed Mother then we headed to the A&E department.
I felt a little nervous and scared over there. I was wondering what will happen to my toe after consulting the doctor. Oh yes, you know the majority of the guys that I saw there, they had tattoos on their bodies- hands and legs. One army guy, even had tattoo on his whole left arm. What's the most unique thing is, the tattoo is a spiderweb (at the elbow). Cool uh. Then I told Mother about my observation and she said,"Tattoos aren't good, you know after you remove it, you'll have a scar on your skin. The complexion will not be smooth anymore." So people out there, tattoos are not cool. Think twice before you do anything to your body!
After waiting for an hour or so, it was finally my turn. The doctor who attended to me is a Phillipino. He said that the infection is actually ingrown. At first, he wanted to remove the whole nail. Minor surgery. However, in the end, he decided not to. He prescribed me some antibiotics and painkillers for the week. Next minute, I knew, I was being referred to a bone specialist. I don't know when is the appointment. I hope it's soon. Real soon, cos' piano exam is in 2 weeks time.
Experience in the Operating Theatre (OT):
It's really really extremely cold inside. I was lying down on the bed and I couldn't help but to start shivering, despite wearing a jacket. Goodness, I don't know how the medical officers can
tahan the cold. Anyway, the OT is the same as what I see on television programmes, the operation light, the equipments. The medical officers are dressed in blue. It's quite cool actually, to be inside the OT. But, of course, it's not cool to undergo some kind of surgery.
Why must I have this kind of toe? :-{
Anyway, been to Singapore Expo-John Little Mega Sale, this morning together with family :-) Mother thought that there will be something that she's going to purchase. In the end, we ended up buying different flavoured chocolates. We spent a total of $23 on chocolates! Haha :-D How crazy is that?
Alright, then we headed to Hougang Mall. It was me, who suggested that we go there. I just had a feeling to go to the library. It's been ages since I went to a library. Haha :-D Lazed around, borrowed 3 books and I'm proud to say that I'm two-third done with a book. Normally, I take extremely long to complete reading a book :-) Not to forget, I've got 2 new collar shirts! I feel so happy :-D
Overall, a happy day! ^___^
